Question
With the hot weather recently, my child doesn’t like to crawl on the ground. I noticed blisters on his hands and feet, and also in his mouth. Someone said it might be Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Which department should I visit?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is a common disease in infants and children, falling under the category of infectious diseases. It is recommended that you first make an appointment with a pediatrician. If the pediatric department does not accept the case, they will inform you of which department to visit. Additionally, please note to keep the mouth and skin clean. Clean the mouth with saline solution daily and carefully attend to your child to prevent them from scratching the blisters to avoid infection from spreading.
